In Debt and Desperate Trump Tries Duping the Devoted Yet Again

His official "Election Defense Fund" is only a cover to get the gullible to fork up more campaign money. Is anyone shocked that they spent it all and didn't pay the bills?
The fine print states that 60% of the election defense fund money will go to pay off campaign debt.
My guess is the other 40% will go for overhead. Is Ivanka managing that part?

so not an "Election Defense Fund" at all. "Pay My Debts and Skim 40% Fund" more like. bullimiami Nov 2020 #2
He must be counting on his voters not reading the fine print. NoRoadUntravelled Nov 2020 #4

my money is on the guess (pun intended) that it can and will be embezzled by Trump.

Between the sale of tRump merchandise and donations to his bogus election defense fund, his followers will bail him out of debt while believing they're saving Democracy.

"Donations made to President Donald Trump's "official election defense fund" would also be used to pay off the campaign's debt, according to the fine print on the donation pages."
